Abstract: A semiconductor device is fabricated by placing a semiconductor chip (7) in a lead frame which has no die pad. Electrodes of the chip are connected by bonding wires to respective lead fingers (3). Additionally, the lead frame has movement restricting fingers which limit horizontal movement of the chip within the lead frame during injection of resin into a mould surrounding the chip. Furthermore, the mould has horizontal movement restricting projections (12) to limit vertical movement of the chip within the mould cavity. The restriction on horizontal and vertical movement of the chip reduces the risk of the bonding wires being broken or short circuited during the resin injection process.

Abstract: An apparatus for the deboning of pieces of meat with oblong bones, comprising a conveyor (1), above which are placed two fixed rollers (19,21). The rollers are desired to grab hold of a piece of meat lying on the conveyor, so that it is conveyed in a squeezed way on the conveyor towards a deboning area. 
     The area comprises a horizontal driving roller (3) and fingers (17) which protrude into the travelling path of the piece of meat. The fingers are placed at an interval allowing the passage of bones between them, whereas the meat will be bent down into the gap between the fingers and the driving roller. 
     The shaft of the driving roller (3) is suspended in bearings which can move independently of each other in a plane at right angles to the axis of the shaft. A system of bellows (6,9) actuate each of the bearings in an upwards and forward direction towards the fingers (17). 
     The suspension of the driving roller (3) provides a powerfull conveyance of the piece of meat squeezed between the bent fingers and the driving roller. The deboning of ribs from e.g. a piece of pork is performed with an improved rate of success.

Abstract: A hand-held portable arthroscope (10) has a camera assembly (100) and a disposable scope assembly (80) rotatably attached to the distal end of the camera assembly (100). A probe (30) which includes a fibre optic image guide (32) and a plurality of optical illuminating fibres (34) is rotatably mounted on the scope assembly (80), and is insertable into a body for imaging the internal structure of the body. The illuminating fibres (34) extend through the scope assembly (80) and are connected in light communication with a quartz halogen lamp (20) for illuminating the internal body structure being imaged. To gather light from the illuminated internal structure of a body into which the probe (30) has been inserted, a GRIN rod (48) is attached to the distal end of the image guide (32). The image guide (32) is bent near its distal end to offset the axis of the GRIN rod (48) from the axis of the camera assembly (100), to enhance the field of view of the arthroscope (10) when the scope assembly (80), which supports the image guide (32) with GRIN rod (48), is rotated. 
     Focusing optics (116) are mounted in the camera assembly (100) in light communication with the image guide (32). These focusing optics (116) are axially movable within the camera assembly (100) for focusing the image from the image guide (32). Light which passes through the focusing optics (116) enters a camera head (118) which is also mounted in the camera assembly (100). The camera head (118) is in turn electrically connected to a video display device (26) for producing an image of the internal structure of the body.

Abstract: Dans le procédé décrit pour générer une surface libre en développant, dans un espace de cadre, des figures trilatérales exprimées par des fonctions vectorielles prédéterminées, on relie les première et deuxième figures trilatérales en modifiant arbitrairement une ligne de séparation commune tout en maintenant les formes de surface lorsque la modification de la ligne de séparation commune est indiquée, et lorsque cette modification n'est pas indiquée. Le procédé décrit conserve la forme de la courbe de la ligne de séparation commune, modifie arbitrairement les formes de surface des première et deuxième figures trilatérales et relie ces dernières. Par conséquent, les formes de surface des première et deuxième figures trilatérales peuvent être choisies, après raccordement, en fonction d'une indication concernant une modification éventuelle de la ligne de séparation commune. La présente invention satisfait uniquement à la condition selon laquelle un premier vecteur tangentiel s'étendant le long de la ligne de séparation commune au niveau d'un point arbitraire de cette dernière et des deuxième et troisième vecteurs tangentiels croisant transversalement la ligne de séparation commune et s'étendant dans le sens des première et deuxième figures trilatérales existent toujours dans le même plan. En conséquence, la présente invention permet toujours de relier les première et deuxième figures trilatérales de manière fiable et uniforme. Dans un procédé pour l'établissement de données relatives à une surface libre, la présente invention génère des points de commande exprimant la courbe de séparation de figures trilatérales en utilisant comme cadre une pluralité de triangles que l'on forme en reliant en quantités appropriées une pluralité de points dans des données tridimensionnelles exprimant un objet prédéterminé par une pluralité de groupes de points existant sur une pluralité de plans parallèles. Des données de surface libre constituées de l'agrégat de figures trilatérales peuvent donc être aisément établies à partir des

Abstract: In order to dry finely divided, expandable styrene polymers having a particle size of from 0.02 to 3 mm, the bead polymers, in the form of a slurry in water, are freed from the majority of the water and subsequently exposed to a gaseous medium. The drying is carried out in two steps, by jointly conveying the bead polymer and a first gas stream, warmed to from about 45 DEG  to 120 DEG  C., through a flow dryer, the ratio between the gas and the bead polymer being from 2 to 40 kg/kg, separating the bead polymer from the first gas stream, immediately transferring the bead polymer into a fluidized bed and treating the polymer with a second gas stream at from about 0 DEG  to 75 DEG  C. Styrene polymers obtained in this way are free-flowing and can be foamed without difficulty in commercially available prefoaming units. They are used, inter alia, in the construction industry, for example as aggregate for insulation plaster.

Abstract: A facsimile apparatus carries out ringing of telephone first for calling, transmits a voice message (MSG 18) informing of "absence" and "facsimile receivable" to a calling station when offhook is not detected during a predetermined period, and transmits a called station identification signal CED 19 after a silence interval of about 5 seconds. When the calling station onhooks a handset during the period of ringing of telephone by judging that the called station is absent, a fee for a telephone call will not be charged and even an inexperienced person can transmit facsimile messages without anxiety by the voice message (MSG 18). Furthermore, by setting the silence interval, it is prevented that the calling station is surprised to hear a strange sound of the CED 19 signal suddenly after the voice message (MSG 18).
